According to an American lawyer I know, if you are a public figure libel is very difficult to win in the US. There has to be intent to cause harm behind the allegation, not just talking bollocks. Although given the content and frequency, of trump comments against Hillary, it must be fairly easy to prove then. Although, doesn’t h have immunity as president?WaspInWales wrote:I've often wondered the same. I'm amazed she hasn't started libel proceedings against him by now. The same can be said of many of Trump's targets, but he keeps getting away with it.Which Tyler wrote:At what point can Hillary take him to court for harassment.WaspInWales wrote:He has been itching to go back to his usual Twitter musings after having to tone it down for a couple of days.
It looks like his meds may have worn off about 11 hours ago and something triggered him to mention Hillary (again). Obsess much?
When they were political opponents it was fair game (and OTT); but now she's just a private citizen.

No.I want steak and a guy in a chefs hat cooking it at my table while he flips his knives all over and sets stuff on fire for my entertainment.morepork wrote:Coco wrote:If I had a choice, I'd have steak and ice cream too.
Just no way. Japanese cuisine is phenomenal.
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.

Re: Trump
5 and counting now for Roy Moore. Trump holding steady with his no comment approach, though there is some speculation he could move Sessions back to being a senator for Alabama and that would also open the door to appoint a new Attorney General, maybe even one who'd fire Mueller.
What Trump has found time for, when he's been too busy to comment on Moore, is to push the justice department to start investigations into Hillary Clinton. It's a tricky one even if Trump is right there's something to look into as there's good reasons the winner of an election does seek to have their rival locked up, and Trump might care to note he's setting a precedent that might come back to haunt him

I know tiny hands is reviewing the decision to relax laws preventing trophy hunters taking dead elephant parts back to the states, but what on earth gave him the idea that it would be a good idea to relax them anyway?
They're an endangered species ffs!
This is what makes me think that he just wants to overturn every decision Obama made regardless of who or what suffers as a consequence.
Mental.

Then he retweets tweets from others thanking him for reviewing the decision.
The man is utterly mental...the decision to relax the order came from him in the first place.

Obama "insulted" Trump at a comedy dinner. Trump has no choice but to hit back 10 times harder and destroy EVERYTHING Obama ever stood for.

Love Trump's Tweets saying that he should've left the UCLA players in jail in China!

What a classless prick.

Seems a moot point in light of Trump's ego issues. First he publicly asks for gratitude for 'his role' in their release. He then offers life advice for them and when the parent of one of them questions 'his role' in their release, he says he should've left them in jail.
Can his delicate ego not take the fact that many people don't see him as the be all and end all?
Rhetorical.....strangely enough, that was the excuse the White House used to explain Trump's tweets on matter.
In other news, he has attacked a different black American athlete in another Twitter tirade.
Certainly seems to be a bit of a trend continuing here.

Re: Trump
China always tends to give a US president some offenders who've been released from jail. I assume the US State Dept. would tend to want people who're deemed politically subversive and rather shockingly put in jail, Trump got some shoplifters, and he thought that worthy of praise - what a moron.
And no it wouldn't have been nice being in jail in China, but maybe don't commit a crime in China as the solution to that. And I don't discount they figured jails in China were more humane than those in the USA

Digby,
another one of Trump's former best black friends forever (BBFF). Another tragic manifestation of reality TV in government, as she was a regular on his own reality TV show. His attempts to promote his ideology as unbiased and inclusive of the black community are cringingly tragic.
Check this shit out.

Not his worst speed, somewhat rambling, somewhat irrelevant, not bad for Trump. As so often with Don or Ivanka they set out a good aim, in this instance bring back jobs, and then never set out a coherent plan for making that happen, and certainly never actually make it happen

There are two motivators here. Reduce the costs of decent animal husbandry in the factory farms, enjoying inflicting violence on defenceless creatures and keeping the rural community onside by allowing them to also do horrible things to God's beautiful creation/almost Divine evolution of the carbon atom. Three, three motivators, the farms, the hunting, the peasants and the big pharma. Four, four motivators,........I'll come in again.
